3. You’ll see a list of programs that launch on startup, along with their impact.

4. Right-click on a program you don’t want to launch at startup and choose Disable.

🟣 On macOS:

1. Click the Apple  menu and go to System Settings (or System Preferences in older macOS).

2. Select General → then click Login Items.

3. You’ll see a list of apps that open when you log in.

4. Select the app you want to disable and click the minus (–) button below the list.

✅ Done! Your computer will now start up faster without those extra programs slowing it down.
